Re: [Blackbelly] Copper/trace minerals. and a poll
Hi Terry, Barb Lee in Oregon is the person you are thinking of and she is no longer raising blackbelly sheep. You should have no trouble searching the archives at http://www.mail-archive.com/blackbelly%40lists.blackbellysheep.info/ The post you are thinking of was written by Barb Lee in 2006. She refers to the book Natural Sheep Care by Australian writer Pat Coleby. The post is at http://www.mail-archive.com/blackbelly@lists.blackbellysheep.info/msg00660.html I summarized it in 2010 and added a couple other good links in that post to other resources about copper deficiency at http://www.mail-archive.com/blackbelly@lists.blackbellysheep.info/msg02833.html Carol At 12:06 AM 1/3/2012, you wrote: I cannot get into any archived posts-- and I need some information that I recall was posted several yaars ago..

Re: [Blackbelly] Copper/trace minerals. and a poll
Thanks-- the information will help prove a point nn a farm seizure case. The family that the poll is about-- was told do this, do that' and the result was a dead cow wihtin 24 hours. Sheep have been castrated (Black Welsh Mountain,) poultry dies in the care of the 'rescuers' etc. The first court hearing was today, another in about a week, then trial. At lest today, the judge Stopped any firther s/n and adoptions bythe KHS, but it is continueing withing the 'rescues' that KHS farmed the animals out to. OH, In Colorado, ther eis a case of seized livestock coming up in the denver area the week of the 23rd-- both these cases are animal seizures with no warrants! Those people in cClifornia, watch out for how you sell your animals-- and in Texas, things are getting hot there, and I am NOT talking about the drought conditions you have. It warmed up one degree this evening-- i am sitting at a nice warm 15*F-- thank heavens for electric blankets...

[Blackbelly] Copper/trace minerals. and a poll
I cannot get into any archived posts-- and I need some information that I recall was posted several yaars ago.. A member of this group, added copper to her sheep diet, and the herd health improved- based on a book that was written, I believe, by someone from New Zealand or Australia. Just finding the information source used would be wonderful-- also, there is a poll that would be beneficial to a case I am working on/for. The case is going to set precedents, for sure Please answer this poll only as regards livestock, not pets. The Baileys' hearing is tomorrow, so we need as many responses as we can get as quickly as possible. Please post this wherever people with livestock are likely to see it. http://justice4pnw.weebly.com/polls.html; Thanks, all, and Happy New Year Terry W Ohio ___ This message is from the Blackbelly mailing list Visit the list's homepage at %http://www.blackbellysheep.info
